Lyrics

Take a little step
Just a little step

And clap your hands
Knock on the door
Stamp your feet
Tap on the floor

Do a little jump
Another little jump

And clap your hands
Knock on the door
Stamp your feet
Tap on the floor

Sip a cup of tea
A slurpy cup of tea

And clap your hands
Knock on the door
Stamp your feet
Tap on the floor
And clap your hands
Knock on the door
Stamp your feet
Tap on the floor

The Enormous Turnip

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

A turnip did grow and grow and grow
Until it was enormous
An old man tried to pull it up
He pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man asked his wife to help
To help pull up the turnip
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man’s wife then asked a boy
To help pull up the turnip
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The boy then asked a girl to help
To help pull up the turnip
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

The girl then called out to a dog
The dog called a cat
The cat called a mouse
To help pull up the turnip
The mouse pulled the cat
The cat pulled the dog
The dog pulled the girl
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man

The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled…

SPOKEN
And finally after one last HUGE pull….
Up came a gigantic, an absolutely enormous turnip!!!

Nice and Cool

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

If on a summers day when it’s too hot to play
And it’s 42 I know just what to do

CHORUS
I rush home from school jump in the pool
Splash – Ahh! It’s nice and cool.

Well the sun may be high and the grass may be dry
But when it’s half past three I know where I want to be
So I dash to the gate

CHORUS

There may be Maths to do, there may be History too
But when the day is done it’s time to have some fun
So I pick up my bag, dash to the gate

CHORUS

And something else I’ve learnt, don’t get too sunburnt
Slap some cream on your skin and you’ll be wearing a grin
And at the end of the day, I pick up my bag, dash to the gate

CHORUS – ahh!

Only just the other day
They stayed a while then said
They had best be on their way.
We really ought to go – o
No, no. no, no, no – o – so

Another cup of tea
They sat down at the table
To take a sip with me – when

The telephone rang

The rain came down
The dog ran out
The duck came in
The television exploded!

Turn around and turn around and

Father Christmas lost his whiskers
Down the chimney climbing nimbly
Now his face is rather prickly
Hope those whiskers grow back quickly

Four steps backward – kick left kick right
Turn around and turn around and

Take your father and your mother
Hey and a Ho and a Jerry – o
With a hop and a skip it’s off we go and

Just like Jack and just like Jilly

Four steps backward – kick left kick right
Four hops sideways – kick left kick right
Four shikitty shikitty shakes – kick left kick right

Jump up on the Christmas table
Play the game on the pork and turkey
Uncle Jim says “Irky Firky”

Lyrics

Have you ever seen a man
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

Have you ever seen a man
Having a cup of tea
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

Have you ever seen a man
Shaking a tambourine
Having a cup of tea
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

Have you ever seen a man
Shaving off his beard
Shaking a tambourine
Having a cup of tea
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

Have you ever seen a man
Washing his dirty hair
Shaving off his beard
Shaking a tambourine
Having a cup of tea
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

Have you ever seen a man
Playing a game of ping-pong
Washing his dirty hair
Shaving off his beard
Shaking a tambourine
Having a cup of tea
Standing on one leg
While standing on a bus?

You haven’t? – either have I

A Frog in my Cheese Sandwich

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A grasshopper on my toes
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

Well...let me just say because, just the other day there was
A dinosaur in the loo
A grasshopper on (pause)

Hey wait a minute, a dinosaur in the loo?! I don’t think so!
Tyrannasaurus Rex!
Mm...big bathroom

A grasshopper on my toes
A jellyfish in my bed
A blowfly in my ear
A caterpillar on my nose
A frog in my cheese sandwich
It was a big surprise, I couldn’t believe my eyes

A dinosaur in the loo? That is ridiculous! Not possible!

Mary went over the bridge
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
Behind the house
To see what she could see

Mary went over the bridge
Around the tree
Through the tunnel
Up the hill
Down the lane
Behind the house
Over the wall
To see what she could see

And when she got there
All she could see was a
Pussy cat playing the flute
